I have no idea what kind of snake this is.   This baby snake was on the driveway this evening.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Looks like Brown Snake to me.
The book calls it a "Texas Brown Snake".
It has been hotter and drier than Hades down here maybe he caught a fast horse headed north...  ;)

Don't know what kind of snake it is, but it looks perfect sized for one of Zander's pens.  Even baby snakes are in danger around my place.  And I like snakes.... >:D

Yup, that's my call too.  I've actually had one of those flatten it's head on me and mimic a rattlesnake.
